I live in Kentucky and I went to Seattle and to the underground tour on 9/30/2008 and what an experience! It was one of the best tours I have ever been on at any city! I am origanly from Savannah, GA and being from there I have been on many the tour of city history. I have to say though, never experiencing what I did in Seattle. Being underground at the door way into the area where the "seamtresses" were said to work, I was felt like and thought my husband had grabbed me on the arm by my elbow and when I looked down he was not touching me, he wasn't even where he should have been to have touched me there. No one was. I heard stories of many places being haunted or whatever being from an old city myself but that I have to say was my first time ever something of that nature happening to me. I can't wait to go to seattle again and doing the tour again to next time bring a camera and see if i can get a picture of proof of my experience of the Seattle underground. I recommend this tour to everyone!!
Pros: Best tour guides
Cons: Hard to find if you dont know the city well

Excellent spot to see a movie. This place has so much charm and ambience that it's hard to stay away from here. I've been going here for movies since 1988, and I prefer it over most other theatres (and I live in Tacoma!). It's been through it's share of ups and downs since then....ahh..how the U District changes so! I am thrilled to see certain movies come here, and I'm even more thrilled that it has stayed open and that people support it. This is a unique place to see a movie (balcony and all). I don't know if they still show the Rocky Horror Picture Show at midnights on weekends anymore, but if they do, you HAVE to go! SOOO worth whatever it takes to get there!

If you can wait for some of the blockbuster hits to come off the major theaters, then Admiral is the place to catch them before they go to dvd. Its a great old landmark West Seattle theater with a great price. Never a big crowd, the screen and sound are excellent.

I have to admit I'm biased -- I've been taking classes with Hallie Kuperman every couple of years since before she even owned the Century Ballroom. But to me it is the best place in Seattle to go for a romantic evening out. What could be better than having a nice dinner (the menu is limited, but everything I've had has been very good), white tablecloths and all, then twirling 'round the floor with your girl (or guy) in your arms?
Despite being a lesbian-owned business on Capitol Hill, the Century is dominated most evenings by hetero couples. Not that there's anything wrong with that, but I am very happy that Hallie recently added gay nights to the schedule. OutDancing happens on the third and fourth Friday of every month, and features a wide variety of dance music, from salsa and swing to two-step and disco. The crowd tends to be mostly women (including a lot of familiar faces from the Timberline, may it rest in peace), but there are several male regulars as well. There are plenty of people to fill the room with energy, but it is not nearly as crowded and sweaty as the popular salsa nights.
Don't know how to swing? Scared by salsa? Not to fear. There are classes before each dance, as well as a regular schedule of classes that meet several weeks in a row, and the instructors are great.

gameworks is the ultimate place to go if you have kids, or are a kid yourself. thier HUGE selection of arcade games will keep you busy for hours. you don't even have to worry about bringing quarters/cash because all the games run off a re-boostable credit card that you put money onto. simply go to the front counter, and they will put as much money as you want on the card, then go to a game, slide the card, and play! they also have a good selection of prizes that kids (or you) can redeem by turning in tickets you have won. they also have an on-site restaraunt and billiards.

This is a wonderful old theater with all kinds of great decor inside, including intricate tile mosaics all around the front of the theater. It plays art house films and is part of the Landmark chain, which consistently shows good movies. It is conveniently located in Capitol Hill near a lot of bars and restaurants.

The Showbox is my favorite venue to see shows in Seattle (though I hear good things about the Firehouse). The place is a lot less smoky than El Corozone (or whatever they are calling it these days) and they have some pretty decent bands there, including the most rocking Mighty Mighty Bosstones show on the coast. Check it out.

I love Bullwinkles. It's a perfect place to take your kids if there's nothing else that they can find to do. There is a go-cart track, tons of arcade games, skee-ball, etc. There is a food court and a restaurant. I've never eaten at the restaurant but I hear that it is basically run-of-the-mill family food with tons of chicken fingers and hamburgers, etc.
Also: laser tag, batting cages, and virtual roller coaster.
Found it is best to avoid this place on holidays and weekends unless you want to be overrun with the 12 and under crowd. Go during the day on a weekday and you'll practically have the whole place for yourself. Fun entertainment.
Attractions can be expensive, depending on what it is. Most range around $5 per person per attraction.
